Consultant Services Request for Qualifications - Transit Ridership Study and Travel Demand Model Mr. Sanders explained that CAMPO is seeking qualifications for the update of the current travel demand model and development of a list of short and long range recommendations for the construction of thoroughfare and intersection enhancements. He stated that CAMPO is also seeking qualifications for a JEFFTRAN system -wide assessment, focusing on service goals and performance measures, and consulting responsibilities. Mr. Benz commented that he supports two consultants rather than one doing both projects. He explained that you might get a lesser quality product with one consultant doing both projects because they are either proficient in traffic studies and not transit or vice versa. Mr. Smith agreed with Mr. Benz but stated that he would not preclude a consultant with qualifications that could do both projects. Technical Committee members concurred to select two consultants. Technical Committee members also concurred to begin the Transit Ridership Study now and wait to do the Travel Demand Model until the new Lafayette interchange is open and normal traffic patterns have developed. 7.
